CINCINNATI, Ohio —

Dealing with dangerous situations is part of the job for police officers. But Cincinnati police Officer Tyler Lane knows some encounters are more dangerous than others.

In December, Lane was the first officer who arrived at the scene of a break-in at Kim McCloud's house on Vine Street in Carthage.

McCloud said Steven Manning kicked in her front door around 3 in the morning.

"He was like, 'I'm home,'" McCloud said. "And he just punched me."

McCloud said she'd never met Manning before, and she would have remembered if she had because much of Manning's body, including his face, is covered in tattoos.

"I could never forget that face," McCloud said. "I looked at him, like, 'Oh my God.' If he had a gun, I believe that guy would have shot me and my son both."

While McCloud's son wrestled, with Manning she called 911.

Officer Lane ran inside McCloud's house, not knowing what to expect. He deployed his Taser in an attempt to subdue Manning, to no avail. Lane's head ended up crashing through a window pane, sending blood streaming down his face.

As other officers finally managed to get Manning to the ground, Lane held a towel to his head.

Paramedics arrived and treated Lane while his colleagues tried to process what had happened.

"He kicked in the door, was acting crazy," one officer said in a conversation captured by a police body camera. "When we got there, (Officer) Lane had already engaged him with a Taser. Had no effect on him. You know, I popped him a second time, had no effect. That's when we went into a tussle."

Police took Steven Manning to UC Medical Center. Heavily restrained, he shouted obscenities and asked for a drink and the drug ecstasy.

Luckily, Officer Lane only needed stitches after he helped McCloud and her family fend off an unwanted visitor.

"I really appreciated that because I couldn't have did (sic) that myself," McCloud said.

In April, Manning pleaded guilty to assault and aggravated burglary and was sentenced to seven years in prison.

McCloud thinks he used to live at the house she now calls home. She said she was told Manning had been released from prison a week before the break-in, and she thinks he wanted to go back to the penitentiary.

Hamilton County court records show Manning had been to prison three times before the incident in December.

In one case, he pleaded guilty in 2010 to shooting a woman in the neck at a bar in Carthage.
